Primary text

If she gives birth to a male and a female, and the male was born first, she is divorced once (due to the male pregnancy condition), and she is definitively divorced upon delivery of the female, but no additional divorce occurs due to the female's birth. However, if the female was born first, she is divorced three times: one for the male pregnancy condition, and two for the delivery of the female. Her waiting period concludes upon delivery of the male.
